Özet
Intestinal obstruction due to sigmoid volvulus during adolesans is rare. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in a patient who presents with complaints of abdominal pain and evidence of bowel obstruction. Etiologic factors include anatomic variation, chronic constipation, neurologic disease, and megacolon. This case is unusual in that no aetiological factor has been found,Management of sigmoid volvulus involves relief of obstruction and the prevention of recurrent attacks; the outcome depends on the population and selection of patients. We report a rare case of transverse colon volvulus in a nineteen year old boy with a review of the literature.
